This follow-up video addresses previous cylinder rotation issues with a Colt Anaconda 4-inch revolver, which appear to have resolved themselves. The presenter tests various .44 Magnum loads, including stout H110 rounds and lighter 'powder puff' loads, noting the performance differences and potential primer issues with Winchester primers versus CCI. The video emphasizes the importance of unedited footage to showcase the firearm's performance and discusses the satisfaction of shooting powerful revolvers.

This video from 2A Warehouse focuses on a quality control issue with Capital Cartridge ammunition, specifically highlighting problems with bad primers. The content likely involves visual inspection and discussion of these defective primers, which would impact the reliability of firing firearms.

This video challenges the common perception that revolvers are inherently more reliable and jam-proof than semi-automatic pistols. The "Smyth Busting Dynamic Duo" explains that revolvers can indeed jam, often due to ammunition issues like a backed-out primer or a bullet set too far forward, which obstructs the cylinder. They also highlight other potential failure points such as a loose ejector rod or damaged internal parts. The video emphasizes that even seemingly simple single-action revolvers are susceptible to malfunctions, and that clearing these jams typically requires disassembly, unlike the straightforward mag drop and rack of a semi-auto. Ultimately, the content asserts that any firearm, regardless of its type, is capable of jamming.

This guide details a DIY modification for the SKS bolt face to address popped primer issues. By carefully grinding down a raised area on the bolt face and then slightly countersinking the edge, the presenter aims to prevent the bolt face from contacting the primer prematurely, which is identified as the cause of bent or broken firing pins. The process requires basic gunsmithing tools and a methodical approach to avoid altering headspace.
